The Management of Houses for Africa and Jonah Capital have dissociated itself entirely from the fraudulent activities of Paul Odili and Adrian Ogunmuyiwa who are falsely presenting themselves as members of the Board and Management of the company.
The Management led by the Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director, Kojo Ansah Mensah says they are taking all necessary legal steps to protect the interests of the companies and the public.
Mensah in a notice said it has come to their attention that certain individuals, namely Paul Odili and Adrian Ogunmuyiwa, are presenting themselves as members of the board of management of the company, saying the representation is completely false and unauthorised.
According to the notice, the official records of the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) definitively confirm that the Chief Executive Officer/Managing Director of the companies are Kojo Ansah Mensah, the Company Secretary is Abu Arome.
The notice said any claims by Paul Odili or Adrian Ogunmuyiwa to hold official positions within the companies are entirely fraudulent and constitute forgery.
It stated that the serious attempt at corporate identity theft, forgery, and impersonation has been formally reported to the relevant Law Enforcement Agencies in Nigeria, and Investigations are underway.
The notice said extreme caution is advised in any dealings with Paul Odili or Adrian Ogunmuyiwa claiming affiliation with Houses for Africa or Jonah Capital.
It said any transactions, agreements, or solicitations conducted by the individuals in the names of Houses for Africa or Jonah Capital are null, void, and fraudulent.
It noted that Parties who have engaged in any business or financial transactions with Paul Odili or Adrian Ogunmuyiwa purporting to act for Houses for Africa or Jonah Capital have likely been fraudulently duped.
According to the notice, any individual or entity that has suffered financial loss or entered into agreements based on the false representations is strongly urged to immediately cease further dealings.
It urged that they report the incident to the Nigeria Police Force, Special Fraud Unit and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The notice asked that they should seek legal redress through the appropriate authorities and legal channels, as Kojo Ansah Mensah is the CEO/MD; Victor Quainoo is COO; and Abu Arome is Company Secretary, saying this can be independently verified by accessing the official records of the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC.
